nanrobbo Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 My Sheffield grandma's favourite answer to a child asking "what are you doing?", was "peggin' a rug!" My Mum's answer's were: Knitting a vest for Cecil! Cat while't kettle boils White weshin't cellar ( we didn't have a cellar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopT Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 When we were kids we'd get a 'scutch at the back of the neck' if we were naughty. I wonder if that phrase was only used in this area? Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 And a "clipped lugoile", I wonder what to clip means, we all know the result as we've probably all had one but, as you say PopT, scutched must be Sheffieldeze! What about "brob". Such as, "If tha dunt geeoer all brob thee int eye" Duffems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttercup Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have live in sheffield all my life. I think it depends on where you grew in sheffield as to how you talk. My dad speaks what I call proper Sheffield talk. I have friends who ask me sometimes what I mean when I turn on the Sheffield talk, I love it and I'm proud of it. Me and my husband were reading the thread and thinking of our fav sayings, mine - "wots tha want for thee tee" "owt" wor is dey" "S**t wi sugar on" his - gee or, ya mardy arse git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 My dad's favourite examples of Sheffield dialect were: "Are ter gooin' ooam toneet, or are tha stoppin' ere?" ...and the old one: "Darn t'Wicker weer t'watter runs o'er t'weer" As for words grouped together: "supwidee?" and "gerritetten" are my own favourites.
